2014 Spectator Course Rules
(subject to change)
•Spectators will only be allowed to view the race from designated spectator viewing areas along the course: Devil’s Playground, Cove Creek, Glen Cove, Ski Area, Halfway Picnic Grounds, and the Start line area. Spectators found outside of these areas are subject to trespassing tickets.
•No spectator parking will be allowed anywhere along the course except in six designated parking areas: Devil’s Playground, Cove Creek, Glen Cove, Ski Area, Halfway Picnic Grounds, and the Start line area. Any vehicles parked outside of these designated areas without a PPIHC parking pass are subject to be towed.
•PPIHC may limit the number of cars allowed above the start line to 1,300 to make sure all of the vehicles will be able to fit in the five designated areas. If you want to view the race above the start line, it is recommended to arrive early as this will be first come, first serve.
•PPIHC may limit the number of tickets sold to no more than 4,000 for the 2014 event.
•Within the spectator viewing areas, all spectators must stay as far back from the race course as possible.
•Any orange fencing in a spectator viewing area dictates a high danger area. Do not stand behind orange fencing under any circumstance.
•All spectators must stay behind any chain linked fence (or otherwise marked areas) that they see in the designated viewing areas. Chain linked fence does not insure it is a safe area but it is not a restricted area.
•The PPIHC is a dangerous race and all spectators must attend at their own risk. Spectator viewing areas do not insure safety.
•Do not stand or sit where a vehicle might strike you and stay off of hay bales.
•Each spectator viewing area will have specific restrictions and limitations on where spectators can and cannot view the race from. Maps of each area can be found on
http://www.ppihc.com/spectatorsafety .
•Each spectator is expected to obey request from PPIHC Course Marshalls, Crowd Control Staff, race officials, Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain Rangers, and Staff and Law Enforcement. Any spectator who ignores request will be subject to expulsion or criminal charges. If you are in doubt about whether you are safe or not please contact a course official for a safe viewing area.
•Everyone in spectator viewing areas are encouraged to have some sort of barrier protection if possible (Rocks, Trees, and Vehicles etc.). Chain link fencing does not qualify as a barrier protection. For those who cannot find barrier protection, it is recommended to enjoy the race from higher ground in order to elevate yourself from the race course.
•PPIHC asks that we all work together to make this race as safe as possible. If you see any potentially dangerous activities on race day tweet them to us @PPIHC_Alerts while using the appropriate hashtag for your location, ex./ #StartLine, #PicnicGrounds, #SkiArea, #GlenCove, #CoveCreek #DevilsPlayground
